Hot Toys’ Jyn Erso Figure Is Ready To infiltrate The Empire

In anticipation of the Star Wars Celebration 2017, top-shelf toymaker Hot Toys has announced a new 1/6th scale figurine based on the character Jyn Erso from “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”

Featuring the likeness of actress Felicity Jones, the figurine depicts Jyn Erso in her Imperial disguise look. In the movie, Jyn Erso is tasked with going behind enemy lines and stealing the plans to the legendary Death Star — all in the name of saving the galaxy winning the day for the Rebellion.

Hot Toys’ take on the outfit is incredibly detailed, featuring a new painted head sculpt of Jyn Erso along with a wide ranging supply of equipment, including a pair of batons, a blaster pistol, an interchangeable Imperial Ground Crew helmet, the costume itself, and the specially designed figure stand.

There is no word yet as to how much the collectible figure costs.

Set outside of the main sequel trilogy that began with “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is set just before 1977’s “Star Wars” and details the Rebel plot to steal the Death Star plans from the Empire. Directed by Gareth Edwards (“Godzilla,” “Monsters”) from a script by Gary Whitta and Chris Weitz, “Rogue One” stars Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Donnie Yen, Forest Whitaker, Diego Luna and Riz Ahmed.

“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which features Jyn Erso appears in her Imperial disguise, is available on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download.
